The man Lu Ming chased all the way was none other than Sang Wusheng, who originally followed Lu Ming’s scent to the mayor’s house and wanted to see Lu Ming settle everything before leaving. For some reason, there was suddenly a difficult master, and fearing that his scent would be detected by the other party, he used his aura to fly away, but he was chased all the way.

He knew that the person following him was Lu Ming, and although his heart was puzzled, he still flew away on his own. To his surprise, he chased himself all night long, and finally, it seemed that his aura was about to dry up when he collapsed here in a state of exhaustion.

If he was right, this person was just crying? And looking at the situation, it seemed that he mistook him for someone else, and that’s why he chased him all the way. Sang Wusheng’s heart felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone, and his jealousy seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, his eyes narrowed and his voice was a bit dark, “Who are you looking for?”

Lu Ming wiped away the tears on his cheeks, stabilized his mind, and stood up to look at Sang Wusheng, his eyes returned to their previous indifference, “None of your business.”

Sang Wusheng looked at him coldly and said, “Then why did you chase me all the way?”

Lu Ming looked straight at him and avoided answering, “Let me ask you, do you know a person named Jing Mo? Why do you have his scent on you?”

Sang Wusheng’s heart was cold, he was crying because of this person named Jing Mo? The thought of this, Sang Wusheng’s jealousy suddenly burned up several times, the corners of the mouth hooked up a cold smile, “Jing Mo? I seem to have some impression.”

The eagerness in Lu Ming’s eyes could not be concealed any longer and he said sharply, “In that case, do you know where he is now?”

Sang Wusheng saw Lu Ming’s appearance, his heart was even more upset, his expression became colder and colder, his words were provocative, “How can I remember such a small minion clearly? Maybe they have already died under my sword.”

Lu Ming’s pupils fiercely shrunk, and his cheeks instantly brushed white. His gaze became dark, the aura of his body on line suddenly changed, his eyes actually slightly red. Only after a long time did he squeeze out a few words from the air, “If you kill him, I will kill you from the bottom of the earth to the yellow spring.”

Sang Wusheng did not laugh in anger, no one had ever dared to talk to him like this, this person was really not afraid of death, “Oh? That depends on whether you have the ability to do so.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Ming suddenly took out a long sword from his space.

The long sword emitted a vague red glow, the sword body was covered with ancient and strange scripture. Sang Wusheng slightly froze, then his hooked lips sneered. He did not expect that the only sword in Cultivation World that could compete with the Ching Li Shen sword, another ancient god sword, Red Abyss, would be in the hands of this person.

However, the other was obviously not fully able to show the real effectiveness of Red Abyss sword. His sword posture was obviously not quite correct, and the sword body emitted a red color that was not pure enough. If they were to battle now, he would not have half a chance of winning.

Moreover, looking at this person’s face pale, knowing he had consumed too much aura, if he were to use Red Abyss, his aura would probably be overdrawn more seriously.

Sang Wusheng gave him a cold look and said, “You are no match for me.”

Lu Ming, however, did not care and poured all his aura into the Red Abyss Sword. At once, the sword burst out with a more intense red light, reflecting Lu Ming’s cheeks like a demon, and before Sang Wusheng could cope, he immediately flew forward, raising the sword and stabbing it.

Sang Wusheng did not panic, one hand released a surge of demonic energy, instantly blocked Red Abyss, reached out and pulled, Lu Ming was confined in his strong and powerful arms. Sang Wusheng was only a few centimeters away and Lu Ming’s light breath sprayed hot air on Sang Wusheng’s face.

Sang Wusheng was tickled by the hot air coming from his cheek, he hurriedly stabilized his mind and wrapped his arms tightly around Lu Ming, who was trying to struggle away. His other hand was clasped around the handle of the word of Red Abyss, and said coldly, “Do you want to seek death?”

Lu Ming was strangled by Sang Wusheng’s arm, the waist can even feel the burning temperature of Sang Wusheng’s hand. His entire body, even his hands and feet were suppressed and a feeling of shame flooded his heart. He was annoyed into anger, then gritted his teeth and released the last aura in his body completely.

Sang Wusheng’s face changed and he hurriedly let go of Lu Ming and took a few steps back, with a look of hidden anger, “You’re crazy!”

Lu Ming smiled coldly, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, “I’ve been looking for him for a whole decade, and you say he’s been killed by you, no one can be rational!”

Sang Wusheng’s brain suddenly flashed through some former segments that did not belong to his own memory. He frowned tightly, but his heart was somewhat moved. Sure enough, every time he got close to this person and heard his voice, his memories of being under a forbidden spell had a tendency to gradually awaken, as if this forbidden spell was completely unbeatable in front of this person.

Sang Wusheng hid the thousands of thoughts in his eyes and had to hold back the inexplicable depression in his heart and continue to raise his eyes towards the other side to provoke. The corners of his mouth slightly hooked, condensed into a bloodthirsty smile, “If you want to avenge him, then cultivate for another ten or eight years, you are not qualified to talk to me now.”

Lu Ming was obviously enraged, he coldly smiled, his eyes ice but cold pool, raised the word and then stabbed at Sang Wusheng. The two of them fought in the darkness of heaven and earth, flying sand and rocks, Ching Li Shen sword and Red Abyss sword were the most powerful ancient weapon Artifacts, not inferior to each other in the slightest. Sang Wusheng did not use all his strength, and Lu Ming also had strong support against it. It was a standoff, for a long time neither could win or lose and the two of them were bruised and battered. 

Sang Wusheng saw Lu Ming’s face getting paler and paler, lips pursed to death, by his own teeth bitten blood, but still held on and refused to give up. He saw in his eyes both heartbreaking and helplessness, and knew that if he continued like this, his life would be in danger, so his eyes were cold, and he suddenly used his Ching Li Shen sword to bounce off.  Lu Ming’s hand was numbed by the shock, and he threw Red Abyss far away when he was caught off guard.

Lu Ming hurriedly flew away to pick up the long sword not far away, but Sang Wusheng rushed forward and gave him a sharp push, so he quickly fell backwards and was pinned to the ground by Sang Wusheng, unable to move.

Lu Ming struggled for a moment and said through clenched teeth, “Let go of me!”

Sang Wusheng’s eyes were slightly mimicked and he said lightly, “Do you hate me that much?”

Lu Ming said angrily, “You killed him!”

Sang Wusheng looked at the youth underneath him, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, his cheeks were covered with staggered wounds, his face was as white as paper, wretched and unbearable. Even now, being pressed underneath himself wantonly, yet still so untamed, such beauty and toughness, somehow it made his heart flutter. The sadistic factor in his heart grew rapidly, only wanting him to lose his mind for himself, to be moved by himself, every move could only be because of himself.

Lu Ming saw Sang Wusheng look at his own eyes, as if a thousand words, but so obscure and hidden, so that his heart could not help but a sudden shock, and for a time, forgot to resist.

Sang Wusheng suppressed his heart’s desire, took a deep breath, climbed up from Lu Ming as if nothing had just happened. He turned around and said coldly, “Although you are so eager to find death, I am not interested in playing with you anymore.”

Before Lu Ming could regain his senses, he quickly cast his aura and flew away, his back soon disappearing into the night.

Lu Ming tightly clenched his fist, his heart cold and dazed. If Jing Mo was really killed by Sang Wusheng, then no matter what, he would find him to avenge Jing Mo, even if it was to pay the price of life, his decision would not change at all.

Lu Ming returned to Green Mountain Town with a dispirited heart, and the sky was already showing some golden light. In the blink of an eye, earth brightened up, daylight sprinkled on the earth, driving away the vast and boundless darkness, but could not dispel the gloom in Lu Ming’s heart.

After Daoist Fang was locked into magic Artifact by the mysterious daoist, Lu Ming and others did not delay, wrote a letter to the mayor’s home, telling him not to worry, then quietly put on the invisibility spell, avoiding the townspeople of Green Mountain Town, and went with the daoist to Kunlai Mountain.

The daoist master looked light, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said warmly to Lu Ming, “I wonder what this daoist friend is called?”

Lu Ming smiled gently, his tone was a bit distant, “My name is He Qingci, I haven’t asked your name yet.”

The man smiled lightly and said, “My name is Yun Ruan. Speaking of which, are you He Qingci, the son of the He family?”

Lu Ming nodded, thinking in his heart, When did his fame become so big? Even an almost isolated sect like Kunlai Mountain knew about it?

There was a look of appreciation in Yun Ruan’s eyes as he nodded and smiled, “Who else in Cultivation World doesn’t know that He Qingci is not only a profound daoist, but also has a refined moral character and is good at helping people, and the people are always grateful for your help.”

Lu Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard that. In the last ten years, he had traveled all over the country in search of Jing Mo and Hua Tui, and had come across more than one evil incident. Besides, he was already on a Dominance Value mission, so he was able to save people and complete the mission at the same time, so he had a very fulfilling life in these ten years. Now Dominance Value has reached forty-eight percent, nearly half, which was also beyond his expectation.

The two spoke as they flew away.

Ming Duo shrunk in the fixed soul magic Artifact from time to time grunted, sometimes so anxious that almost jumped out of the mouth cursing, but could not move.

Lu Ming was frightened by him, afraid of accidentally using cloud range to detect the presence of Ming Duo, hastily and quietly reinforced the power of the spell. He was now simply not his opponent ah!

After a while, 233 quietly crawled out from space and attached to Lu Ming’s ear and said, “Host, the location of the Purple Furnace’s drawing has been locked.”

Lu Ming was shocked and hurriedly said, “Where is it?”

233 said, “It’s in the Secret Realm of Kunlai Mountain.”

“Secret Realm,” Lu Ming mumbled, and then said, “Kunlai’s line is essential.”

233 skimmed, “The water swamp Secret Realm by Sect Leader and his Shixiong brother set several forbidden spells, with your power, you are not able to enter into it. The only way is to enter Kunlai Mountain, become a member of the Kunlai disciples, and wait for the Kunlai trial in a year. At that time, the Secret Realm will be opened, so you can take advantage of those three days to get your hands on the drawings of the Purple Furnace magic Artifact.”

Lu Ming nodded his head and sighed softly. I’ve waited for ten years, so I’ve never been afraid of waiting just one more year. The only way to get into Kunlai Mountain today is to use all the means available.

Lu Ming was about to open his mouth and ask Yun Ruan about the way to enter Kunlai Mountain for cultivation, when suddenly, a sound of wind suddenly came from afar.

Lu Ming was puzzled and stopped in his tracks, turning around to look behind him.

Only to see a tall young man running wildly towards him. The man’s face was handsome, sturdy, dressed in a light blue shirt, his eyes full of anxiety. When he saw Lu Ming looking back at him, his eyes flashed with ecstasy and he moved his lips towards Lu Ming, but couldn’t say a word because he was too surprised, and only after a long time did he murmur, “Brother, I finally found you.”

Lu Ming’s breath snapped, his pupils tightened, and his body actually began to tremble. His eyes were glued to the other man, unable to blink, afraid that Jing Mo would disappear and that it was just an illusion he had woven.

It was only when the man gradually approached him, stretching out his long, strong arms and pulling hard, wrapped his arms tightly in the daze, choking and calling out to him over and over again, Lu Ming then completely reacted. The overwhelming surprise almost made him a little sober, his eyes quickly filled with tears, the only thought in his heart was constantly telling himself, Jing Mo is finally back.
